Hello, The other day I had a chat with a client who wanted to invest. He was not sure if he should buy a property or invest in shares; he also wanted to know if shares were risky as he was comfortable that property was a safe investment and assumed shares were not safe. So here is the naked truth about risk and investing… Quality assets may fluctuate in price over the short term…in the long term the characteristics of a quality assert always prevail. This is true for both property and shares. Characteristics of a quality asset – property: Built in the last 12 months Quality fittings and finsishes Dual income stream (for example and granny flat in the back) Close to schools, public transport and schools Growing population in the area Characteristics of a quality asset – shares; The company has: A long track record of growing it earnings A long track record of growing profit A along track record of paying growing dividends No debt Produces goods or services that the population needs (CBA) to desperately wants (Apple) Stable management with a long track record of delivering strong results Be open to all assets classes as some may suit your needs more than others. I welcome you to come and have a chat with me about your invetsment ideas or goals. Have a great day ...

Hey Everyone, its Rose here and this is my first blog after becoming a Financial Adviser for Risk with pwm advice. Making sure you have Personal Insurances is so important, no matter how old you are! If you think you are protected with the insurance in your Super, I would like to have a look to make sure you are covered for all you need, if you need your Super reviewed also George is able to help you if needed. One question I want you to ask is if you do have your Insurance through your Super who is the insurer of that policy and who would pay you if you needed to claim. If you have AustralianSuper as your Super fund TAL are your insurer through their Group Insurance offering, if you have REST as your Super Fund AIA are your insurer through their Group Insurance offering. What is Group? Group insurance is an insurance that covers a defined group of people, for example the members of a society or professional association, or the employees of a particular employer. The insurers I use underwrite upfront when you apply, so when you claim, you claim and get paid. Group insurance policies may underwrite when you need the money the most, at claim time and may delay or deny a claim as you have never disclosed anything upfront. Is paying for your insurance from Super the most effective way of doing so, there may be a more effective ways of paying for your insurances. Some essential insurances cannot be paid for by Super that I can see if you need...

Getting a financial adviser is where the planning process begins for many people. For those who choose this route, it’s important to focus on finding the adviser that suits your needs. To get the desired outcomes for your financial plan, asking the right questions of a financial adviser is a great place to start. All good advisers will be open to answering them, and it will help establish a relationship built on trust and transparency. Are you licensed to give financial planning advice? As recommended by ASIC’s Smart Money only use advisers who hold an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) or who are authorised by a business that holds an AFSL. What are your qualifications and experience? There’s no such thing as one size fits all in financial advice. When appointing an adviser it’s important to ensure they specialise in the area relevant to your needs such as wealth and investing, insurance or retirement. What are the costs involved and what will I get in return? Before entering any conversation around financial planning, make sure you understand the costs involved. Any financial planner can explain the planning process, the advice given and the fees and charges that come with it. Who owns the company and are you affiliated with product providers? The major financial institutions own up to 80% of the financial planning industry1, so it’s important you are aware of such affiliations. A Financial Services Guide (FSG) provided by a licensed planner will give disclosure of company ownership, products, services, fees and charges related to services. It’s worth noting that some adviser practices are restricted to advising on 3-4...

In the 2016 Federal Budget, the Government proposed a range of super changes that have the potential to directly or indirectly impact results from the ‘Transition to Retirement’ (TTR) strategy. Key messages If the proposals are legislated, the key messages to come from our analysis of the changes are: 1. The TTR strategy may still be worthwhile, but in more limited circumstances. 2. The value to be derived will vary depending on the client’s specific set of circumstances. 3. For many people, particularly those under the age of 60, the net benefit from the strategy will be significantly lower under the new rules. 4. The benefit of retaining existing TTR pensions as part of a TTR strategy may need to be reassessed, and unimplemented advice to start a TTR strategy may need to be reconsidered. 5. TTR pensions remain an effective vehicle to support a client who wishes to reduce their working hours. 6. Taxation of TTR pension fund earnings at up to 15% is still lower, in the majority of cases, than the tax payable if the money was invested outside super. If you are interested in knowing more please let us know by calling for an appointment on 02 6360...
